Dee Gordon, who took over at second base after Robinson Cano was suspended, is the highest-ranked Mariners player in the voting. Gordon sits in third place with 395,253 votes behind leader Jose Altuve of the Astros (2,460,967) and Gleyber Torres of the Yankees (797,817).

"It means a lot," said Gordon, who has a .289 batting average with one homer, 20 RBIs and 20 stolen bases. "I work hard. I want to be one of the best. Just to be in the same categories with these guys is pretty amazing."

Jean Segura (shortstop) and Nelson Cruz (designated hitter) both are fifth in their respective categories while also having strong seasons.

Mariners manager Scott Servais is hoping to see a few of his players make it to the July 17 game in Washington.

"We've got [players] that are certainly very deserving of getting the opportunity to go there," Servais said. "We certainly have guys that are deserving of that, four or five of them that very well could show up in the game."
